We want our teams - our kids' high school teams, our alma maters - to win, but the system is rigged so they don't always win. That's bad. It must be those private schools, recruiting the best athletes. Yeah, that's it. That's why we're not winning. We hate not winning, and it's time to do something about it.

That is roughly the logic behind the decision at the statewide meeting of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association this month in Stevens Point to create a committee to study whether to recommend a "competitive multiplier" for Wisconsin high school sports.
